Delph nears Man City switch after U-turn

The 25-year-old was expected to join City last weekend in an £8million deal and looked set to join up with the club on their tour of Australia, but rejected the move on Saturday morning.

However, in a strange turn of events the former Leeds man appears to have changed his mind again with unconfirmed reports that the player was undergoing a medical, according to the Manchester Evening News.

“I’m not leaving. I’m staying at the football club and I can’t wait for the start of the season and captaining this great football club.”

With Villa facing a battle to keep prolific striker Christian Benteke, the latest U-turn from the club’s captain will make the remainder of the transfer window a difficult period for boss Tim Sherwood.
